(hennemusic) Alice In Chains guitarist Jerry Cantrell has revealed that he is working on his first new solo album in almost two decades. The rocker shared the news during a red carpet interview with People TV at the recent MusiCares Person of The Year tribute event to Aerosmith in Los Angeles, CA.

"I'm working on a new record myself, so, generally, when I'm in that sort of a mode, I pretty much don't listen to anything until I'm done, so nothing creeps in there," explained Cantrell. ""I did a couple of shows at The Pico Union Project in L.A. with some friends, and I got to play some of my material from my solo records.

"When I'm with Alice, I'm with Alice, and that takes the majority of my time. This year, we're taking a little time off, so... If you liked any of the solo work that I did or the work with Alice, I'm sure you might like some of this stuff too."

The Seattle band is currently on an extended break following a world tour in support of 2018's "Rainier Fog." Cantrell's project would mark his first full-length record since 2002's "Degradation Trip." Watch the interview here.
